The Sandbanks Hotel in Poole is situated in one of England’s most exclusive locations. Our hotel is relaxed and affordable, with attractions to suit every need.

On one side of the hotel, there is direct access to Sandbanks' Blue Flag beach with safe swimming in the sea and seven miles of golden sands with views of Old Harry Rocks, Poole and Bournemouth Bay round to Hengistbury Head and across to the Isle of Wight. On the other side there are views of Brownsea Island and the Purbecks across the natural bay of Poole Harbour.
